Description
Double your harvest! Unlike tip-bearing apple trees, this tree’s spur-type nature allows fruit to form along each limb — bearing from the trunk out. This means more of your favorite Golden apples from one tree. May crop heavily, so thin fruit to avoid biennial bearing and fruit drop. Harvest a bounty of crisp, juicy apples with delectable sweetness and a hint of spice. Originates from Parker, Washington in 1961. Cold-hardy and heat-tolerant. Ripens in late September. Self-pollinating.
